I did not have the airdam on the underside of the radiator/engine on. I think that it helps to route air to the radiator more effectively. I put it back on, flushed the radiator, and fixed my T-Stat install (it seems I had the gasket on the wrong side of the thermostat, which didn't allow the t-stat to seat properly in the housing) and now she seems cooler. The OBDII scanner confirmed the tems displayed by the gauge. I have a tighter than stock mesh on the front facia that I will remove tonight as well.
Wow! You do know that the addition of a simple air dam to a car can increase cooling efficiency around 20% or more on some cars. If GM actually spends the money on an air dam and claims 20-40% increases in cooling efficiency then you know it must be necessary.
